Berlin admitted that despite lengthy negotiations with Poland, Slovenia, Greece and the Czech Republic, it has not signed a contract with any of these countries.

The Financial Times newspaper writes about the sad results of the agreement between Germany and its allies on the supply of arms to Ukraine. It provided that Eastern European countries would send military equipment of Soviet models to Ukraine, and in return Germany would supply them with Western-made kits from its own stocks.

However, the agreement, which was supposed to show European unity, has become the subject of controversy, the newspaper wrote. Germany admitted this week that despite lengthy negotiations with Poland, Slovenia, Greece and the Czech Republic, it has not signed a contract with any of these countries.

At the same time, Warsaw, for example, delivered 240 Soviet T-72 tanks to Ukraine and expected Berlin to pay them Leopard tanks. However, Germany only offered 20 pieces. Poland turned to the United States and South Korea for the supply of an alternative complex. “The Warsaw deal is effectively dead,” the FT quoted a German official as saying.

Berlin does not agree that Ukraine and its allies have failed. Officials recall that this week Kyiv confirmed deliveries from Germany of the first three of 15 Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, as well as three Mars II multiple rocket launchers and three PzH self-propelled armored howitzers , in addition to the seven delivered in June.

In addition, Berlin gave the green light to the PzH 2000 manufacturer to supply Kyiv with another 100 systems for a total of 1.7 billion euros. At the same time, according to Der Spiegel, the transferred PzH 2000s began to fail after a month of operation.

Despite opposition criticism and accusations from foreign politicians, Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s administration is optimistic. “We are working closely with our partners on a number of transfer deals; the negotiations are very helpful and some of them are already very far along,” Scholz representatives said.
